Thanks for looking into who we are, and how we might be able to help you hire.

Ambient might have been established in 2022, but we brought over 50 years of successful recruiting to Local Government with us.

We are highly experienced; passionate about the sector and the people within it; straight-talking; and laser-focused on building an exceptional reputation.

Within the first two years of operating, we have made over 250 interim placements across 50 Local Authorities. It’s a testament to our reach, our approach, and our hard work.

But don't take our word for it - here is what some of our network say…

“As an employer – We very quickly developed a great working relationship with Ambient People in the search for interim finance staff. In that search, AP invest the time to talk to us to find out the skills, experience and price range we are looking for, and then we get back relevant candidates without wasting time.  ”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Karima over the years on numerous recruitment campaigns, and her expertise has consistently exceeded my expectations. Karima always delivered quality candidates who were not only well-qualified but also a great fit for our organisational culture. What sets her apart is her personal approach, she takes the time to understand the unique needs of each role and tailors her search accordingly. Karima’s dedication and thorough understanding of our requirements made the recruitment process seamless and effective. Her commitment to excellence and personalised service have been invaluable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a recruitment consultant who truly goes above and beyond. ”

“I have known Liam for many years and worked with him both from a personal contracting perspective and more recently in a hiring capacity.  I have always found Liam straight forward to deal with and he has a particular skill in setting out the realities of all aspects of a position or role. This is something I value greatly.  He and the team haven’t let me down. ”

“In my experience, Ambient People take a more personal approach to recruitment, taking the time to get to know candidates and managers to help match people and roles.  As a hiring manager, Liam and the team always discuss the requirements of the role with me and only send CVs for people they believe will be a great fit. I have appointed some excellent staff through them as a result.  As a candidate, I know that they will only put me forward for roles they think are right for me, with my best interests at heart. ”

Gemma

“Liam has demonstrated the ability to understand a brief in detail, provide advice and insight into the hiring process. He is able to apply that understanding and clearly has an extensive network of high calibre candidates to draw on. He has always been committed to making the hiring process as smooth as possible and remains engaged with both client and contractor throughout assignments. I look forward to continuing to work with Liam and would highly recommend him to anyone hiring within the sector. I have no doubt he will bring his high standards of integrity and service to his new business. ”

Anna

“I approached Andy for his help in appointing an interim Director of Finance. He quickly presented a strong shortlist from Ambient People’s network which resulted in us being able to choose between multiple appointable candidates. Not only did we make a great hire, but the strength of the field took a lot of the stress away from appointing to a key post for me. ”

Jake

“Max always provides excellent candidates which have always reflected the roles required – many of which stayed long term.  The onboarding is always professional and timely and communication at all points of the process is excellent and supportive. Max not only responds to internal vacancies but keeps me in the loop with candidates who are available and will support the team’s purpose, reflecting his understanding of our organisation and team. Max is always my first go to when I need support. ”

Dominique

“As both a candidate and a hiring manager for Ambient People, I’ve found support and communication to be good both during the process and throughout the assignment. One of the biggest challenges in the interim market is being contacted about roles and then hearing no feedback from agencies, but I would not say Ambient fall foul of this. ”

Dawn

“I work with Liam and Ambient People because they understand my needs quickly and simply. He doesn’t bombard me with unsuitable candidates, candidates out of my price range or sends me CV’s on spec. I then receive CVs for GOOD candidates with a covering e-mail highlighting strengths and weaknesses of all candidates. All off this saves me time when time is the most important commodity I have. ”
